I am very careful with my vinyl. I’ve got Charles Tolliver’s Music Inc. Reissue on Pure Pleasure Records (Strata East). It’s one of my favorite records and with 30 euros a pop they aren’t really cheap.

So there I was, taking the record very carefully of my player and in just a second... I dropped it, tried to catch in scratch it all across the wall. Now I won’t repeat the swearing words I used but boy did I hate myself that very moment.... still hoping for a miracle I took a good look at the record hoping it was ok but there were scratches all over unfortunately. 
 

there is no protection against human stupidity unfortunately

I feel your pain.  Reminds me of when I bought my new Pro-ject Carbon turntable, and on one of the first LPs I played, I lost hold of the tone arm and it went skittering across the record and the label.  The memory still gives me chills.
